About the Artist

Surrealist Vision

Mustafa Batibeniz is a surrealist illustrator and photographer from Famagusta, Cyprus. He studied Architecture at Eastern Mediterranean University in 2009 and went on to earn an MA in Photography in 2010. Fluent in both English and Turkish, his multidisciplinary background informs a unique creative practice that blends architectural precision with dreamlike imagery.

Drawing inspiration from Salvador Dalí and Pablo Picasso, Mustafa has developed a distinctive visual language that marries geometric abstraction with surrealist symbolism. His mixed media approach pushes the boundaries of traditional illustration, incorporating unconventional materials to create tactile, multidimensional experiences. The Mediterranean landscape of Famagusta permeates his work, serving as both literal backdrop and metaphorical anchor for his explorations of the subconscious.
